Re: (forw) [GANDI] berkeleylug.com expires 2021-01-20T05:05:36Z

Thanks, yup, well aware and tracking and on my calendar and has
been since at least around a year prior to the upcoming
expiration 2021-01-20T05:05:36Z
and shall renew it reasonably ahead of time (likely around 15 to 10 days
before expiration ... unlike, egad, some other somewhat slimy registrars
who's "automatic" renewal actually renews slightly *after* expiration
(egad, GoDaddy ... yuck) - leaving one in a quite precarious position
exceedingly beholden to the mercies of said registrar).

Were it an absurdly critical domain and/or much more sucky registrar,
I'd probably renew it much earlier (like 90+ days before expiration),
but neither of those being the case, I figure >10 days is "safe
enough".  (Much) more important, but not quite/highly critical, I'd
probably do it at >30 days before expiration.  I also figure >10 days
is quite a bit safer than some/many that go for "automatic" renewal
that only kicks in on day of (or egad, very slightly after!) - that'd
make me at least kind'a nervous - though it might "always work", seems
to me doing it that late or down-to-the-wire, too many things might
possibly go wrong - with about zero (or less) margin for error / recovery,
or time to fix things before they might start to go sideways.

So ... likely it'll be done well before the 17th
https://berkeleylug.com/Pi.BerkeleyLUG/
and probably before the 10th
https://berkeleylug.com/meetings/
So, will likely also get update out to the list prior to said
meeting(s).

And, in meantime, continues to well be placed on my calendar:
$ grep -i berkeleylug.com ~/calendar | fgrep -i expir | grep '^2021' | fgrep -i domain 
2021-01-20T05:05:36Z berkeleylug.com domain expires 2021-01-20T05:05:36Z

Hello,
This email concerns the renewal of the domain name berkeleylug.com at Gandi, for which you are a contact via the username or organization "RickMoen".
The entire world is currently going through a very turbulent period right now, and in light of this global public health crisis, we are aware that priorities are being reconsidered.
Nevertheless, it is important that we inform you that the domain name berkeleylug.com will expire at the Registry in 30 days, on 20 Jan 2021 05:05 UTC.
If you would like to keep this domain, you must renew it before this date. The domain will be renewable at the normal price until 05 Mar 2021 19:05 UTC
IMPORTANT: if you miss the renewal deadline, your domain name will be deleted from our system on 05 Mar 2021 19:05 UTC. Its status will then change to "restorable" until 05 Apr 2021 05:05 UTC. Note, however, that the price of a restoration may be considerably higher than for a regular renewal.
To renew the domain, please go directly to Gandi's website by clicking on the following link: 


https://www.gandi.net/renew?domain_list=berkeleylug.com
(if the link does not appear on a single line, please copy and paste the whole thing into the address bar of your web browser.)
We also strongly recommend that you enable automatic renewal for domains that you manage. This simple precaution protects you from forgetting to renew domains that are important to you, and possibly then having them suspended and go into a restoration period (which can me much more expensive than a simple renewal), or even worse, fall back into the public domain for registration by someone else.
This option may be enabled and disabled via your Gandi account. To learn more about automatic renewal and more about renewal of domains at Gandi, please see our documentation at https://docs.gandi.net/en/domain_names/renew
If, due to the current crisis, your situation makes your ability to renew difficult, please contact our Customer care team so that we can find a solution.
Finally, note that if you do not want to keep the domain, no further action is needed. If you do nothing, then berkeleylug.com will go back on the open market on or around 10 Apr 2021 05:05 UTC (the exact date may vary slightly depending on the registry and time zone differences).
During these unprecedented times, please rest assured that we're working hard to maintain the proper functioning and smooth operation of our services and to guarantee they continue to function as normal. Our thoughts are with you, our customers, and everyone impacted by these circumstances.
Feel free to contact our Customer Care Department should you have any questions or require any additional assistance: 
https://help.gandi.net/en/contact/
Thank you for choosing Gandi!

Best Regards,
